This past Wednesday, ACI enjoyed an indoor Nature Tour at the Union County Trailside Nature & Science Center! About a dozen of us joined in the tour, including Scotch Plains schools. We learned many new things about New Jersey's Animal Kingdom, such as dinosaur bones found in Westfield and Cranford and the 21 species of snakes in the Garden State. We also learned about the Native American Lenape Tribe of NJ and how they lived many years ago. Thank you to all who joined us!
On March 21st, Luke Koppisch and ACI volunteer, Courtney Cardona, spoke to a class of 35 interior design students at Kean University in Union, NJ.

Thank you Professor O'Shea for giving us this opportunity and to all the students who asked some great questions!
